A Bite of Thanksgiving in December

So, Will and I recently returned with his family from Florida and on our last day in Orlando, we stopped by Downtown Disney. A friend of mine recommended us to try Earl of Sandwiches, so we did.

It reminds me of Potbelly because they are similar in product and pricing. First, you order what you want and then you pay for your order, and are given a buzzer and when your food is ready, the device would buzz.

At first I wanted to try the Hawaiian BBQ Sandwich because it's a combination of grilled chicken, ham, Swiss, pineapple, and sweet and delicious Hawaiian barbecue sauce. However, I decided on something else, something much more tastier.

Holiday Turkey

The description of the Holiday Turkey sandwich sounded so tempting and I gave into the temptation and ordered it. The Holiday Turkey had the basic foods/ingredients you would eat on Thanksgiving - turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. The sandwich only cost: $5.99! Yep, only $5.99. This was by far the cheapest lunch I've had since staying at Disney for 5-7 days.

Deliciousness

This was by far the BEST sandwich I've ever had! The bread was crunchy and moist. The turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, and stuffing was excellent! I've never tasted such a delicious sandwich before. Every bite of it was absolutely heaven and a reminder of Thanksgiving! I guess the better phrase I should use was that this sandwich was out of this world!

I dream about this sandwich now because it was that good. I recently learned that there is an Earl of Sandwiches in New York City, and I am looking forward to trying it out with Will. If and when we do try it out, I can guarantee you we will be writing about our experience and amazing sandwiches we will have.

If you haven't noticed already there's been a huge boom of hot pot (shabu shabu) restaurants and more and more people are going out for hot pot instead because it's a fun bonding experience and some hot pot restaurants have offers that is too good to refuse.

Hometown Hot Pot opened in 2015, best known for their all-you-can-eat hot pot and Korean Barbecue. I've been here 3-4 times already in the last year and it's always been a delight to eat here.

Hometown Hot Pot is super spacious with 2.5 floors of seating and beautiful and interesting decor.
The staff here are friendly, just a little strict about reservations as you must have at least 6-8 people to minimum to make a reservation.

I've never tried their Korean Barbecue so I can't say anything about it. However, I can talk about their hot pot. So first off the prices are:Hot Pot: $23.99 (per person)BBQ: $27.99 (per person)Hot Pot & BBQ: $31.99 (per person)Children under 4 1/2 feet - half price

I've been craving for Italian food and pasta for some time now. Late March, I decided to check out San Marzano in the East Village with three friends. Will was out of town, so it gave me a chance to catch up with close and old friends.

The menu at San Marzano excited me because of the food and how you can pair any type/shape of pasta with any sauce you want and only for $9.00. The pasta is also made fresh in-house, another bonus point. They only take reservations for six and up, so we couldn't make one and walked in instead. We came on a Friday night around 6:30-7PM and pretty soon the restaurant was filling up quick.
The restaurant isn't as big as I thought it would be, but I did love the chic ambiance - think low lighting and sleek decor.

We started off with the Cavicchioli Prosecco, 1928. My friend made a fantastic choice because the Prosecco had notes of flowers, apples and citrus. It paired well with our appetizers and the prosciutto in our appetizer.

Will and I bought souvenirs for our friends Sam and Alex and wanted to have a meet up/lunch with them to give them their gifts as well as give them the good news in person. They were ecstatic when they heard the news.
Sam and Alex went to Thailand last year and they had authentic Thai food. A friend of theirs mentioned Look By Plant Love House which had authentic, homey Thai food so they wanted to try it out with us.

Look By Plant Love House is an interesting addition to the neighborhood and a cute spot! There's a bar seating at the front of the restaurant and a narrow hallway past the kitchen that leads to small, but cozy seating in the back and then an outdoor space when the weather is nice like now. Our waiter was extremely friendly and helpful in explaining menu items to us. We ordered a variety of dishes and desserts:

Will and I got the Thai Ice Tea and this is something you can't NOT have since this is a Thai restaurant. I liked the Thai Ice Tea a lot, tasted fresh and…
